I'm Krystin Blackwood, and I've only ever been good at one thing: killing demons of Darkness. But at 24, I'm about to face my toughest challenge yet: shifting from working alone to joining a team of three other Hunters. Newbie Hunters.

They don't know their magik, they barely know their place in the world, and when they find out the secrets I've been carrying, they'll definitely decide it's safer if they don't know me.

But unfortunately for them - and me - Darkness has other plans. Lady Azar, Darkness's heir, stole my new team leader's kid two years ago. Now, she and her lackeys are rallying to exchange Ben's kid for me because of the power I wield. I'm one half of a prophecy to save an ancient city the Powers of Good lost centuries ago. And if I fail or die before that happens, the destruction of that city will be felt across all planes of existence.

If we can't find Ben's son before All Hallows' Eve and somehow save him without putting my life at risk, that existential explosion will absolutely happen. But it'll be nothing compared to the destruction wrought if Lady Azar changes Ben's son into a demon...and her minion

Because the only thing more dangerous than me with a blade is a father's wrath.

Songs that could be in the soundtrack for this book
1. Five Become Four - Yellowcard
The song, word for word, line for line, could have been a conversation between my characters. This album came out when I was first writing what would eventually become book four of this series, The Hero, for the first time.
2. Uninvited - Alanis Morissette
My critique partner sent me this song and said it reminded her of Giyano and Krystin, and I love it so, so much.

3. We’re All To Blame - Sum 41
There’s an awful lot going on in this world, and at the end of the day, they’re all to blame.4. Spirits - The Strumbellas
This song is Krystin 100%. When I first heard it, it was like I finally understood her.

5. Believer - Kill Hannah
At some point, they all decide they’re done running. All they can do now is believe.

6. Be The Young - Yellowcard
The more things change, the more obstacles challenge the characters, the more things stay the same. They persevere and remain.

7. You’re Gonna Go Far Kid - The Offspring
A song for Krystin to sing to a certain someone.

8. Lights And Sounds - Yellowcard

A song about what the Hunter Circles can do--and has done--to their Hunters.
